The New York Mets announced that RHP Noah Syndergaard has a torn UCL and will undergo Tommy John Surgery. Syndergarrd is expected to miss the remainder of the 2020 season and part of the 2021 season. He will have the surgery on Thursday at the Hospital for Special Surgery Syndergarrd was experiencing discomfort in his throwing elbow before spring training. He had a 4.28 ERA in 32 starts last year. This really hurts the starting rotation and leaves a gaping hole as the # 2 starter behind Jacob deGrom. RHP Michael Wacha will most likely take Syndergarrd's spot in the rotation and they also have RHP Walker Lockett and minor league pitching LHP David Peterson as fall back options.
